Alku Vordu served as a male senator for the planet Daroon within the Galactic Empire's Imperial Senate throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War. After the Imperial Senate was dissolved in 0 BBY, stormtroopers commanded by Lieutenant Falto Dragen attempted to apprehend the senator on Daroon due to suspicions of his connections to the Rebel Alliance. Prior to being taken into custody, Alliance operatives intervened and extracted the ex-senator, transporting him to the planet of Alderaan; they arrived from hyperspace just as the Death Star destroyed it.
